Software and Computer Requirements

Assigning a Host ComputerThe computer that the MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System Software is installed on is referred to as the host computer and should be used to install and connect with the printer. After installation and connection with the printer the host computer can be used to run the software and print labels. A Windows® host computer can connect to the printer through a direct USB connection or a network connection. A Mac® host computer can connect to the printer only through a direct USB connection. Mobile devices can be used to facilitate initial printer setup but cannot be host computers. Host computers should have the minimum operating systems described in the next section. A Windows® host computer is necessary to generate an IP address for WiFi® connection.

The MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System Software does not need to be installed on other devices in order to print. Once connected to the printer, the host computer can also facilitate communications with other devices and computers in the lab through use of a network connection and web browser. For this reason, a computer that is already being used to run other lab equipment is a suitable choice as a host computer. Be sure this computer does not enter sleep mode.

Install SoftwareThe MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System comes with a USB flash drive containing programs required to communicate with the printer.

Print Tab FeaturesThe print tab functions as the main tab of the software where labels are created and printed. Both the spreadsheet and Template Tabs provide additional functions that can enhance the lab label created in the Print Tab.

Vessel Format SpecsThese labels are custom designed to have two horizontal perforations that split one full sized label into three smaller labels. These perforations were designed to allow users to customize their label size and number of lines to their vessel of interest.

The blue button directly above the Label Preview identifies what vessel format to choose for your vessel size and type. The roll of Adaptable Lab Labels will create "lab labels", perfectly sized for your lab vessel.

The software automatically limits the printable space on the lab label to avoid covering text when wrapped around the lab vessel.

The MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System has two font sizes to accommodate varied needs. For each vessel format, there are specific alloted characters. The label size and text above are not 100% to scale.

Note: When using some of the software features and configure label line menu options, the character limits might be reduced.

Configure Label Line Menu OptionsThe MilliSentials™ Lab Labeling System Software allows you to customize the content of your lab labels.

To open this menu, click in any light blue Label Field. After you have entered the text and configured it, press SAVE to go back to the Label Preview screen. Repeat for each line in the lab label.

Fixed Value Enter text that remains the same across multiple labels (Example: Lab name). The cursor defaults into the Enter Text area, so if using this option, simply type. Characters are automatically limited based on your font size and chosen vessel type. See Vessel Format Specs (p.17)

Print Date This predefined field enters the current date from your device.

User Initials Enters the user's initials from their profile. You must be logged in to use this feature.

Value + IncrementEnter text followed by a number that will increase automatically with each label. You may choose the number to start your increments by using +/-.Example: Aliquot #1, the next label will be Aliquot #2 and so on.Note: User defined characters will be limited (see table right) to accommodate the added characters in the increment.

Variable Field Choose this to enter unique data for each lab label printed. A pop-up prompt will interrupt printing to enter unique text. Example: If printing labels for different samples use this for entering a unique sample name for each label).Note: if the character limit for the chosen vessel size is exceeded in the variable field, the Software will not print.

SpreadsheetThis option enables you to use a spreadsheet already loaded from the Spreadsheet Tab. See Spreadsheet Tab Features (p.19)

To select specific data into a Label Field, click on the column header name in the configure label line menu, and in the spreadsheet tab, check the boxes to select specific rows. If you select 10 spreadsheet rows, you will print 10 lab labels. Column headers will not print.Note: For 0.5-0.6mL tube and plate or dish vessel formats, there are 3 lab labels per full label. For these formats, each row of a spreadsheet is predefined to fill one third portion of the label.IMPORTANT: By default, all rows in the spreadsheet are automatically selected unless you select specific rows. IMPORTANT: The spreadsheet data may print outside of the label area after the maximum number of characters has been met. If the spreadsheet data is longer than the label's character limit, the data does not automatically wrap to the next line.

Spreadsheet Tab Features

Prepare Spreadsheet File• Arrange your spreadsheet with row 1 as the header

row (row 1 will not print). The software will print each row of data on a unique lab label.

Example: 10 rows of data = 10 lab labels

• Cells in the spreadsheet should not exceed the number of characters that fit on the lab label line. Extra characters may print off of the label area. See Configure Label Line Menu Options (p.18) for the maximum number of printable characters for each vessel format.

• The spreadsheet must be saved in .CSV format only. If using Microsoft® Excel®, use "save as” and choose .CSV (comma delimited).

Import Data1. From the MilliSentials™

Lab Labeling System Software, click on the Spreadsheet Tab.

2. Click and drag your .CSV file into Spreadsheet Options box. Alternatively, click on the Spreadsheet Options box to open File Navigator and select the .CSV file. Once loaded, a preview of your data will appear with your column headers embolden.

3. Check the boxes to the left of the rows that you would like to print. You can change your selection at any time. If no boxes are selected, the software will print all labels by default.

Add Data to Lab Labels

4. From the Print Tab, select the Label Field you want the spreadsheet data entered into.

5. The Configure Label Line menu will open, click on Spreadsheet. Select a spreadsheet column header from the list.

6. Press SAVE to return to the Print Tab. The column header will be displayed in the Label Preview.

Note: Once you've entered data into the spreadsheet, the Print Quantity option disappears. For printing multiple copies, we suggest designing the spreadsheet with the desired copies as different rows and selecting them for printing.

Note: For 0.5-0.6mL tubes and plate or dish formats, the bottom two thirds of the label will change color and will not be configurable. This is because rows from the spreadsheet will be automatically incorporated as separate labels. For example, if you select 6 rows in your spreadsheet to print, the software will print 2 full labels for these vessel formats.
